The scenery that the company carry with

have been prepared in the workshops of the

building made 1t possible to secure these
great attractions, without this building. 1t
would have been impossible for these very
In Omaha. The limited capacity Of the opera
house would have forced the price of seats so
high as to be beyond the reach of the multi
tude. Inc size or the exposition building
permits the price OF tickets to be as low AZ
the people of larger eastern cities have
paid tor these same attractions, and 1t Is
lower than the price has been in some of the
cities. The best seats in the exposition
building are sold at sS, and the less desirable
seats at 81, the general admission at each en-
tertainment being 81. A mammoth stage
| 64XSO feet, occupying nearly One-third of the
| hall. has been built and with the 800 people
| OF this company grouped thereon, 1t will be
| sight well worth seeing.
The exposition management, after the ex-
perience of the Patti night, have pr0fited by
the lesson, and holders OF seats for the main
| floor will be admitted through the Fifteenth
street entrance while those who buy the re-
served seats in the gallery, and general ad-
mission tickets thereto, will be admitted
through the Capitol avenue entrance. Thus
the tedious and ANNOYING delay Of the Patti
night will be entirely done away with.
1t Is probable that this great musical event
will be participated in by a large number Of
people from Council Bluffs, Fremont, Schuy-
Ter, Columbus, Grand Island, Kearney, Lin
coin, Beatrice, Plattsmouth and other ad-
joining cities. There are good number of
desirOble reserved seats left, which can be
obtained at Max Meyer 4 Bros music store,
and we trust that the people of Omaha will
| show their appreciation of the enterprise that
has brought this world renowned company
to this city by extending to the same most

"Yes, we have read those newspaper arti-
cles with considerable amusement" said Mr..
Himebaugh, of HImebaugh u Merriam, re-
ferring to recent criticisms of his firm, espe-
cially by the World. at is surprising to us,
as well as amusing, to see how some people,
who lay claims to large information and in
telligence, give themselves away when they
discuss subjects they know nothing about,
and take no pains to discover or adhere to
facts. Our name in connection with the
grain trade appears to be used as common
property. We are thinking of charging q
royalty, and make rebates to those only who
use il a wholesale number of times. No! We
have not been much aggrieyed at the unfa-
vorable reflections and insinuations, made in
those articles, and have not considered them
worthy our notice In public way, as the
parties writing them seemed to us to be more
willing to indulge In Misrepresentation than
take the trouble to get at the facts, excepting
the remarks OF Mr.. WOOdman, who Is prOba-
bly, better posted than any other man outside
of the trade. The fact is. our character is SO
well established we don't have to get up and
